Locking fuel door panel

[grendal87]

I got a 2010 nissan rogue. I am afraid to keep it at my apartment. I have no security system here, the landlord refuses to install a security system. I have replaced 5 locking gas caps. Cheapo ones from walmart. I am wondering where can I find a metal locking gas cap and where can I find a locking fuel door cover? I have been looking all over the place. They have done everything trying to get to the fuel in my car.

The last gas cap looked like they tried to burn it off with something. Before that they used a screw driver and a hammer to try to bust the lock, and before that they tried prying it off with a crowbar. Thankfully the cap has held and no one's gotten the gas but now I am tired of replacing gas caps, so I wanted a locking fuel door cover as well if they have it. Any help be useful even if I have to buy a custom expensive after market product.

s*** man that sucks! I don't think a locking door cover would be a good idea for you because then they are just going to use a crowbar to pry it back and ruin the body of your car as well.
I haven't heard of any metal gas caps, but if you find one that fits post back with it.

If I do I will, haven't so far so figured a rogue forum might know.

Why siphoning gas is hard to impossible on modern cars

It looks like it would be pretty easy to just push that ball past those clips into the tank.

I was searching and searching for you but if lock door cap doesn't work then here's couple more options (all I could find):
1.
2.
2nd option looks pretty solid but 1st is more like possible option.

Why siphoning gas is hard to impossible on modern cars

Well as the officer from the first and only theft of gas I have had is its not just a hose anymore, they are using small diameter pipes and a hammer to force the ball out before sticking the hose in, they push the pipe in as far as it will go and hit it with a hammer either smashing the ball or knock it lose from the pins then put the hose in, often small tubing like that from an aquarium filter pump. I was then given the idea of a locking cap by the officer. I'm now on my 6th cap. I had an attempted theft last night, but they didn't try to break the cap but left the fuel door cover open. They did however scratch a frowny face on my paint job next to the door cover. I have only found metal caps for trucks and jeeps, I did see a nice flannel that locked unfortunately also for jeeps.

Failure to Provide a Safe Environment
In many states, landlords are legally responsible for the failure to keep tenants safe from dangerous conditions on a property or safe from criminal activity. A landlord has a duty to make inspections and inform tenants and others that legally enter the property of hazards that exist on the premises. A landlord must take reasonable measures to ensure the safety of tenants from other tenants and from criminals that enter the property. Basic safety measures a landlord should provide include locks and adequate lighting. If a tenant sustains physical or property damage after a landlord becomes aware that the property is unsafe, an injured tenant may be able to sue and recover compensation from the landlord.

Unfortunately to him that just means outdoor flood lights, which if everyone's asleep before before midnight usually and the damage occurs between 1 am and 5 am there's no witnesses regardless of lights. I have asked repeatedly for a security system with cameras in installed I have been denied, his justification, costs too much, I'm waiting for them to really smash my car up. In the mean time though I'd rather keep the expensive gas in the tank cause if they keep coming 50 60 bucks of gas is a lot more to replace then 3 bucks, I ain't worried about the paint job he's got vandalism insurance.
